Ok, so I used to be really excited this time of year. I am not talking about a million years ago when I was a child I mean several years ago. Even though my kids are grown , in their twenties,I still make them stockings and wrap and hide presents. They are in college and some "traditions" I know they still enjoy. I have NO Christmas spirit this year, and even have been switching off Christmas songs on the car radio.I used to sing along with them in the supermarket! Nothing has happened in particular but I am just so not feeling it this year. I mean my Christmas spirit has been dwindling over the last three or four years, but has hit a new low. I don't care if I shop or not, get a tree or cook a dinner for that matter. I know Christmas is about Christ and we have taken him almost out of it,what with all the big sales like "black Friday" the day after Thanksgiving. We have taken him and Native Americans as well out of that holiday...but don't get me started on that. Maybe they are just starting Christmas too early, I mean they were putting the nutcrackers next to the Halloween stuff in some stores this year! Can't we do one holiday at a time? By the time December 1st rolls around there is a glut of Christmas items in the stores. People pushing and shoving each other. I don't remember it being this way. Maybe I'm just getting old! I hope I can find the old me and start feeling more Christmassy Yeah I know it's not a real word. Happy Christmas !!!!!
So let me go and sit quietly and Pray. Have a wonderful Holiday ...and if you see my holiday spirit anywhere out there by itself, send it home it's too little to wander off on its own. :)
